PUMP SAFETY
Hot Exhaust
The muffler becomes very hot during operation and remains hot for a

while it is hot. Let the en

storing it indoors.
To prevent fire hazards, keep the pump at least 3 feet (1 meter) away
from building walls and
other equipment during operation. Do not place
flammable objects close to the engine.
